2 g glutamine = 400% increase in GH?
« on: January 07, 2009, 02:58:57 PM »
According to a recent study, supplementing with just two grams of L glutamine daily increased growth hormones by over 400%

Sure it does. Lots of things boost GH. Doesn't mean it does anything for you as a bodybuilder.

Glutamine has been shown to increase GH in previous studies.

Edit: the article refers to the old study most likely. Not recent by any means.

Study seems rather incomplete.

only glutamine peptides is worth taking. The normal stuff gets destroyed by your stomach acids..

L Glutamine is a huge placebo hype and is worthless unless you inject it intravenously.  The first studies that laid claim to increased immune functioning and repair of muscle tissue, etc. were done on burn victims but unfortunately they failed to mention that it was in high doses injected directly into the bloodstream.  When you take 10 grams orally about 98% gets broken down by stomach acids before it has a chance to do anything positive....huge waste of money hands down...

I don't think the "problem" is with bioavailability. Some of it does pass into the blood stream. Whether it's IV or through oral peptides it just does not increase muscle growth. If it did bodybuilders would be shooting it, better believe it.

I tried glutamine and it didn't do anything at all.  IMO just another over-hyped cheap to make supplement being pushed on us to make more $.

Just want to throw out there that you need to look at WHO conducts the studies and with what controls, etc. There are a ton of variables to take into consideration. On paper, tons of compounds look amazing but in real life they blow.

Intravenous glutamine is okay if you're a burn victim, oral glutamine will not do an appreciable amount of "good". It's probably more beneficial for your gut than it is conducive to bodybuilding. There is a ton of glutamine in protein powders and the fools on bb.com that are obsessed with proteins and supplements are bean poles, or horribly skinny fat if they have a decent amount of size.

i can remember a seminar with ian harrison when one of the lads in the audience asked him a question on what time he should take his gmb... he laughed for a while then told us that all supps apart from proteins were a complete waste of time and money, and that none of the pros botherd with them, just stick to good food and gear!..the lad was devestated, must have been practicing his question in his mind all afternoon,

I like it. It seems to give my immune system a boost, and helps me somewhat recover from my workouts. I recommend it.

I use 5 grams daily. Just drop it in my mouth, and take a swig of water to down it.
